Beyond the traditional non-invasive CVD risk factors, several other have been proposed for COPD patients, including C-Reactive Protein (CRP) [6], arterial stiffness evaluated by pulse wave velocity (PWV) [7], carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) [8], ankle-brachial index (ABI) [9], and microalbuminuria (MAB) [10]. This evidence concerns the gene CRP and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
